I have never had any problems with gallery not showing the pictures that I have recently added, but today it's not working properly. When I add new pictures, I cannot see them in the gallery. I am still able to see the old pictures in the gallery and I am able to see the new pictures only IF I use "My Files." I have tried a factory reset, but the problem still exists. Does anyone have any suggestions on what the problem might be?
Before anyone asks, I am running the stock 3.1 HC.
strongly suggest this app.... SO much better than the stock gallery

Thanks for the suggestion, but I still want to solve the actual problem and get the pictures to show on the gallery.
Try deleting all the data from /sdcard/Android/com.android.sec.gallery3d
And open the gallery again to rebuild the image cache.
This may work.
I have just checked gallery again and the new pictures are showing up now. This is very odd.... What could have caused the pictures to show up after a certain amount of time instead of showing up right after I transferred them to my tablet? Does anyone have an idea? (Thanks for the suggestions so far!)

I once removed al images and movies from my X10.
When I take new pictures, they are shown in gallery with the correct thumbnails.
But, when i take new movies, they are shown with thumbnails from already removed movies.
I tried removing /sdcard/DCIM/.thumbnails and clearing all data from gallery at settings - applications.
What must I do?
I have got the same problem with my X10i. only I have got the problem with saved backgrounds and wallpapers.
I updated it to 2.3.3 and rooted it.
all my pictures, backgrounds etc have got the wrong thumbnails.
i also cleared my data and removed the thumbnails files.
didn't remove the wallpapers yet. I will first wait for a response
thanks in advance
My problem resolved itself after re-installing stock 2.1 and upgrading to 2.3.3
well my problem started after doing that this morning
edit:
installed wolfbreak v3.6 instead of stock. problem solved
is there a known gallery bug in this phone?
I have a folder called frame in the root of my sd card. it has some pictures that I want to use with the htc photo album or photo grid widgets. gallery wont see those pictures. there isn't any .nomedia file. i've copy/pasted those files to a different folder that was showing in gallery. those pictures don't show as being in the folder! the pictures were recognized in my OG EVo and on my wife's Xoom. i've force stopped the gallery app, cleared its data, restarted the phone, shut down the phone. don't know what to do, no matter what i've tried, those pictures don't show in gallery!?!
any light you can shed on this would be appreciated!

i think you've done a good job of covering all the basic troubleshooting steps.
the only other idea i have, which is a bit more complex, is to watch logcat for output from the gallery app. once you wipe its data, when it loads up,it should show some output as it scans for files. maybe somewhere in the output it will give a hint as to why it detects some files and why it ignores your files.
unfortunately, i haven't heard anything about this yet and maybe there is a bug. maybe logcat and debug output from the gallery app will shed more light on the issue.
hope that helps! keep us updated.
well it turns out after enough rebooting it does update. i think it may be that whole new idea of fast booting, that it doesn't clear memory and reload the app from scratch. even though I had force stopped the app. now everything is showing, just not right away.
Hello there,
I'm on a Telus Samsung Galaxy S3 (at&t) SGH-I747). My problem is that Every time I try a rom, I've noticed that the videos I've taken no longer have a thumbnail (pictures work). New videos taken with that rom will be shown fine.
I've been googling around, and found suggestions to delete cache in the Gallery and media storage apps, followed by a reboot. I've even renamed one of the files, followed by the cache clear and reboot, to no avail. Whenever I do this, I can see the galery is actually being rebuilt because at first no medias are shown, then they appear and I can see thumbnails refreshing for the pictures.. Just not the videos....
Is it possible that the videos taken by the Samsung stock Android rom are different in some way? I would REALLY like to be able to see those thumbnails. Any answer would be appreciated.
I'm currently running CarbonRom 1.6 with JB.
I forgot to mention something... When I take a video using the camera app from the Carbonrom, then rebuild the galery thumbnails through a cache flush of gallery and media storage, those new vids DO get a thumbnail...
Hi,
Lately I've been having problems with my SGSIII.
Problem started while I was on CM10.2 stable.
At one point (after a few days), every time I tried to download a photo using any browser, the download would be unsuccessful (gets to 100% downloading, then error's out saying "Download unsuccessful.").
I tried multiple browsers but didn't help. Some of them said the SD card is inaccessible, but I have no external SD card (had it before, but removed it).
Also, I noticed that the photos I took wouldn't show up in the gallery (would not load thumbnails or show photos), and every new photo I would take would not appear listed.
So I thought that was a CM10.2 bug, and exchanged it with a stock based ROM (NeatROM 6.1), but the problems persisted, except now it shows old photos in the gallery, but every time I would take a new photo the Camera app would freeze.
Transferring files from a PC has no problems, and the Internal Storage shows 3.5 GB of free space.
I tried clearing the data of Gallery app, Browser, tried wiping cache/data/dalvik, fixing permissions over CWM, but nothing helped.
Any suggestion what could cause this problem and how could I fix it?
I checked the forums and googled the problem, but haven't found a solution.
Thanks!

Tried a couple of other things and it didn't work, so I had to resort to reflashing stock firmware. Reflash managed to fix the problem, but too bad I didn't manage to find the culprit of the problem

Hello everyone, ever since upgrading to android 10 im having a weird issue with pictures in my phone.
1. im using an chatting app called viber, for some reason i cant share screenshots within the apps photo share icon, some time before my screenshots didnt even show up there, i could find them manually but trying to send it gives "file not found" , now i can see them without searching for them, but still cant share them.
2. other thing is some pictures just randomly disappear from my google photos app, usually edited screenshots, after some time they are just gone.
3. downloading pictures from chat in one of the games i play "rise of kingdoms" also disappear after some time, those pictures are stored in "Pictures" folder created after the first download, but that folder/album later on is just gone from my photos app, those are also in annoying jpg!large format that i cant even open from file manager app until i remove !large extension.
btw all the things mentioned above , photos are not removed, they are still in my phone i can find them all in my file manager but i cant see them in google photos app, i also cant see them from any other chatting app when i want to share pictures. camera photos, photos downloaded with google chrome , seem to be fine and they never got removed from google photos so far.
have a feeling its something related to mi a3's storage managment cause i tried another gallery app and it doesnt show all my pictures as well, anyone having the same issues?
thanks.

I do have the same kinda issue with photos. For example, I want to share a pic while being in WhatsApp, Viber but it won't show me all the folders of the pics. I have to go to Gallery and share it from there.
